The introduction of 3D printing to the manufacturing landscape was revolutionary. When it first appeared on the scene, its applications were limited. The technology was restricted by the hardware, skilled workers, size, speed, cost of production, in addition to other factors. However, it was easy for many to see how the technology had the potential to change the game in the same way that other advancements, like automation, changed the manufacturing industry. While tackling the initial obstacles was key, once 3D printing became more common, it was time to tackle other issues impacting its more widespread adoption and use. In […]

The 3D printing world was, for some time, marked by its use of thermoplastics for parts production. While thermoplastics have material characteristics that made them valuable in their own right, for the technology to really grow and expand it was clear to many that, in addition to the development of new printer technology, materials would also need to be explored. That’s where Markforged’s innovations came in. The introduction of Onyx and continuous carbon fiber changed the way many industries viewed additive manufacturing.   What is Markforged? Markforged is a 3D printer platform company that designs and develops the hardware, software, […]
